A Digital Memorial Built With Muslim Families in Mind
Muslim graves are usually plain, which means a life story has nowhere to live at the graveside itself. A digital memorial keeps the biography, photographs, timeline, family tree and tributes intact, with your family deciding who can see any of it.

What is a Muslim digital memorial?
A Muslim digital memorial is an online memorial page for someone who has passed, kept by their family. With Moments by QR it holds a biography, timeline, photo gallery, family tree, tribute book and grave location, and it can be private and PIN-protected so it is seen only by the people the family chooses.
It is a record, not a monument. Nothing about it changes how a burial is carried out or what stands at the graveside. For the wider category, see digital memorials.
We do not offer religious rulings on this page. Questions about what is appropriate at a graveside are for your own scholars and your burial ground — this page describes only what the product does.
Why does this matter for Muslim families in particular?
Because the memory usually lives in people, not in objects. Where graves are kept plain and families are spread across countries, a life story survives only as long as someone remembers to retell it.
- Plain graves. There is rarely a physical place where the story of the person is written down.
- Dispersed families. Relatives in different countries may never have met the person, and may never visit the grave.
- Oral memory fades. Names, villages of origin and family lines go within two or three generations if nobody records them.
- Scattered evidence. Photographs and voice notes sit in individual phones and are lost with the phone.
What does a Moments by QR memorial page hold?
Every Memorial Page is built from the same six sections, so nothing important is left to chance and every family records the same kinds of things.
Timeline
Births, marriages, journeys and milestones placed in order, so grandchildren can follow the shape of a life.
Gallery
Photographs kept together instead of scattered across phones, group chats and old albums.
Family Tree
Recorded relationships across generations — often the part that is lost first in large, dispersed families.
Tribute Book
Messages and remembrances from family and community, held in one place rather than a feed.
Grave Location
Where they are buried, recorded so relatives — including those visiting from abroad — can find the grave.
Can the memorial be kept private?
Yes. A memorial can be public, public with role and access controls, or private and PIN-protected. Families who want the record kept but not shared publicly can have exactly that.
Whichever mode is chosen, the memorial is looked after through the Owner, Delegate, Contributor and Nominee roles rather than a single shared login.
Public
Viewable by anyone with the link or the plaque.
Public with role and access controls
Viewable, with contribution and management handled through family roles.
Private / PIN-protected
Opens only for people the family has given the PIN.
How does it help families keep remembering?
Two features do the quiet work: On This Day resurfaces moments from the memorial on their anniversary, and custom notifications let a family set their own reminders to remember someone.
- On This Day — moments return on the dates they happened.
- Custom notifications — reminders the family sets themselves.

Does it have to be connected to the grave?
No. The memorial works entirely on its own. A QR plaque is optional — it simply gives visitors a way to reach the memorial from the resting place, and it should only be placed with the burial ground's permission.
Many Muslim burial grounds have strict rules about what may be placed at a grave. Ask them first, in writing. If a plaque is not permitted or not wanted, the memorial is unaffected — read more about QR memorials and grave permission.
